Summary
Jim sprang back on to the truck of the violently rocking wagon and stared across at Manatasee. She saw him and pointed her assegai at his face. Then he saw the length of slow-match had been exposed across the last yard of trampled earth below the mound on which the queen stood. The swift flame shot along it, leaving the fuse blackened and twisted as it burned. Jim clenched his jaws and waited for the explosion.
A powerful enemy. A land of second chances.
Jim Courtney is protected by all the wealth and influence that his family's successful business, the Courtney Brothers Trading Company, can provide in the Dutch-owned colonies of South Africa.
Louisa Leuven is an orphaned young woman who escaped the plague only to be unjustly imprisoned and transported to the Cape. When a storm destroys her prison ship, Jim is her only hope of escape.
But Louisa and Jim have greater adventures in the African wilds ahead of them: they must flee from Dutch forces who seek not only to recapture their prisoner but also to hunt down and hang Jim Courtney - and punish the other member of the Courtney family, however they can....

Terrific adventure story
terrific adventure story with full blooded characters and stirring action.. Blue Horizon combines all the best elements of a Wilbur Smith yarn. Not his best but perfect for passing long journeys and brilliantly read.

Africa came alive
Having lived in S.Africa it was very evocative. Loved the description of the Veldt with its animals and tribes. Griping story . Did not like Zen’s voice at all , Too much like Louisa’s .

Riveting
Took its time to catch me but since it did I have been enthralled. I hate bloodthirsty books but this had me enchanted.

Exciting story
Will the Courtneys never stop making foes then hinting them down across swathes of Africa, described in beautiful detail?
I loved this story and can’t wait to start the next in chronological order.
